Class Reminders for the Payson FamilySearch Center

We offer a variety of classes each month taught by amazing presenters. There just might be one listed below that you’ve been waiting for. Check it out; there’s no sign-up necessary. If you cannot attend in person, join us on zoom: https://zoom.us/j/95589561172?pwd=ZHVjdC9HZ1d2QUx1TDJtZnpaY0ZkQT09.

Tuesday, April 16, 10:30 am, Bill Gronberg will be helping with your Swedish Research. Bill has been a consultant for many years and specializes in Swedish records. We are fortunate he is willing to assist us at the last minute. Bill will enlighten you with his expertise, and we will all be blessed by his willingness to serve.


Wednesday, April 17, 1:00 pm, Steve Lowry will be teaching “Using the MEMORIES Module in FamilySearch.” Steve has 46 years experience in the computer industry, worked for FamilySearch for 13 years, and has been a Temple and Family History Leader. During his time at FamilySearch, he dug into the intricacies of their programs and, therefore, is a great person to teach about the memories module. He loves the opportunity to share his knowledge.
